I don't think suggesting changes like nerfs is in the spirit of what this idea hopes to achieve - we're not in balance fu, this isn't hoping to make MG stronger or weaker in any way, and that's a discussion I think that would be best had elsewhere, regardless of my opinions on it.
Really, what I want to do here isn't shake up the field of balance much, if at all - but pad out Archer with things that can arguably fit there, while freeing up MG to have just a little more freedom with their builds and what shells they can take, and make the class as a whole just more fun to build. New pieces of kit for archer, or synergy with existing kit is cool and such, however this is all more for the sake of just kind of smoothing the gap between Archer and MG, and allowing them to use more of what they already have.
In that vein, this is more meant to be a simple suggestion that would be easy to act upon, on my part. On the topic of Arbalest, it's just generally agreed upon that a retool is needed there, so on that front I'm not gonna ask for much either way. I expect at some point any changes to Arbalest will come in some more focused update.
